Which Multi-tool should I buy?

I've got $150 in Bass Pro Shop GC, and I am getting a Leatherman Squirt P4 to use as a pocket knife / tool.

I'm thinking of getting either the Leatherman Charge XTi or the Gerber MP800 Legend for a full-sized multi-tool.

Anyone ever use either of these and have any opinions on them? I'm currently leaning towards the Gerber, because I would have enough left over to get some ammo for my 9mm or a new hunting knife (since I broke my current one). If I get the Leatherman, I've pretty much used up my GC's after taxes or shipping (if I don't drive down to the store).

Does Bass Pro sell SOG in their stores? There is no mention of that brand on their website.
 
How about you send me the $150 in GCs and I send you my Leatherman Micra and my original Gerber Multi-Plier? 😉 Seriously, while I haven't used either of the particular models that you are considering, I have found that they are both high-quality. However, I don't know that I see $30 worth of difference between the two in terms of the implements I would actually use, so I would go with the Gerber.
 
I haven't used either you are looking at (had the second generation Letherman, lost it, and am looking at getting a Gerber 650), but my experience has been this:
Gerbers can be found cheaper, with less tools, and are more comfy than, Leatherman tools.
Leatherman tools give you everything, in a very tight package, but don't have anything cheap.

AFAIK, both are of equally high quality.
 
I have a Leatherman Wave that is pretty cool. I can recommend that as a very useful tool. :thumbsup: I'm sure the Charge would be excellent too.
 
Another vote for the Leatherman Wave ... brilliant little tool. I take it absolutely everywhere with me and it has fixed computers, Volkswagen vans, a tricycle and ski bindings!
 
I have a few, let me check. Squirt S4, PST II, and Super Tool 200. I use PST II the most. Good stuff.

i have the leatherman Wave and i love it.

i don't think you can go wrong with either knife, so if the gerber leaves you something left over, go for that.
